I'm having it this Thursday 7/25 and I'm super scared and nervous! I'm a baby when it comes to pain

You can not top me when it comes to being a baby with pain. I am the biggest baby out there when it comes to pain, and my hubby tells me all the time that I am allergic to pain. If I can have a painful c-section and a sleeve and survive? Everyone out there and their kid sister can do it and survive too. Don't worry, you will be more than fine and if you can't take the pain then take the pain medication. Good luck

Lol! I'm just curious as to what kind of pain will I feel? Like after an ab workout where your super sore or like a big truck punched you in the stomach? Did you have a "draining tube" or something to help you go to the bathroom? What kind of pain medication did they give you for when you went home? I know alot of questions I'm sorry I'm just super curious

I had surgery on Friday (7/19) and the first day I had really bad gas pain. But the second day it was gone and the only pain I was dealing with is the pulling at the belly button. I am currently not taking any pain meds. I had no drain tubes and no catheter. Best of luck!! The hardest part for me was drinking the first day. Now I'm going better.

Good luck!!! How are you feeling 3 days post op? I'm planning on returning to work that Tuesday(7/30) so I was wondering if there was still pain or anything out of the usual? I work in an office sitting all day so I figured I'd be ok

I'm feeling good. The only pain is the tugging feeling in my belly button. I'm taking 2 weeks off from work. I think it's going to be the best two weeks ever!!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
